Designing Tattoos with Multiple Layers!

I love making layers in my tattoo designs, where you can get a sense of what’s in the foreground, middle ground and background, to the point where it almost seems like you could reach in and grab it. This effect is achieved by combining various graphic tricks meant to enhance depth, tricks that work in almost any style, not just biomech such as with this hand tattoo by @donmcdonaldtattoo and myself. You can read more about the tricks we used in this piece in the Depth chapter of your ReinventingTheTattoo.com subscription.
